An electron is confined to a narrow evacuated tube of length 5 m; the tube functions as a one-dimensional infinite potential well. (a) 5 What is the energy difference between the electron's ground state and its first excited state? (b) At what quantum number n would the energy difference between adjacent energy levels be 4 eV - which is measurable, unlike the result of (a)? At that quantum number, (c) what multiple of the electron's rest energy would give the electron's total energy and (d) would the electron be relativistic? (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units (c) Number i Units (d)
